BA in Theatre and Performance
Bard College — Annandale-On-Hudson, NY
About this program
Bard College’s Theater and Performance Program offers an interdisciplinary, liberal arts-based approach to the making and study of theater and performance. The title, Theater and Performance, signals the program’s embrace of a wide range of dramatic, theatrical, and performance practices, from live art and interactive installation to classical theater from around the globe. Theater and performance are intrinsically collaborative, and collaboration is at the heart of students’ work, which emphasizes process, cohort-building, and dialogue between theatrical work and the social, cultural, and political contexts. Students study, create, and perform in the landmark Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, designed by Frank Gehry. The practice of integrity and respect for the form, self, and the community are central to our work as faculty and students. We strive to deepen and strengthen these commitments through analytical study, rehearsal and creation processes. Invested in a culture of responsibility, we reject white supremacy and work against the exclusionary ways that Eurocentrism and patriarchy have shaped theater education. We aim to explore and celebrate the diversity of the U.S. and the world. We encourage ongoing self-inquiry, exploration of form and content, originality, imagination, and dedication to hard work in pursuit of excellence.
